It's been a long time
since I posted anything about what I've done with Linux. After that Gentoo
episode, I stuck to Fedora for a while and I didn't have any major issues there,
other then a few outdated libraries (like Gnome being 2-3 releases behind). Then
in November, for reasons I don't remember (I think it died on me), I
re­in­stalled, this time going with the easy option of Ubuntu. Which of course
starts up with an error message.

Anyway, I got rid of my laptop, bought a shiny new desktop (a post about it will
follow soon) and I proceeded to install something on it.
